Structural Inspection, Cosham, Portsmouth, I Boucher - November 2020

 

 

 

 

 

The website enquiry form was easy to use and allowed me to give a brief description of the structural problem we wanted investigating. I was recommended to use the localsurveyorsdirect website by a building company in Southampton that I found during a Google Search. We used Mike Grant Consulting Ltd services, as Mike's email response generated after completing our enquiry form, was the only response that indicated that he had actually taken the time to read the description of the structural problem that we wanted investigating. We liked the fact that his response was not just an automated, cost advising response. His charges were the middle of the road out of the 3 quotes received. I rang Mike initially for an informal chat to try and explain a little more about the problem we had in advance of his visit and he was very accommodating with his responses to my questions, particularly as he had already finished for the day. As he gave us his time and he came across very nicely and didn't talk "structural engineer" jargon to me, we decided to use Mike to carry out our structural investigation. Mike arrived on the date agreed and on time. He is a very personable individual, cheery and has an informal approach, which we liked. He carried out a thorough, uncrushed, full inspection of the external and internal wall cracks that we had on our property and he also checked all the walls/floor levels internally. On completion of his inspection, he gave us a brief, verbal outcome of his findings, which was very promptly followed up the next day with the complete final report along with the recommended actions needed. In all, Mike is a credit to his profession and we are so pleased that we used him to survey our property. We have no hesitation in recommending Mike Grant Consulting Ltd to others and we would not hesitate in contacting him again if needed, for this property or a new property in the future. Thankyou Mike for the great service you provided.

At the eleventh hour, the bank asked for a structural engineer to visit the property. Mike was quick to respond, knowledgeable and was happy to chat through my requirements. Given my time restrictions, he said he'd put me on the cancellation list. He then managed to visit the property earlier than expected after a cancellation. He also made every effort to share his report with me very quickly. Thanks Mike, you've been a pleasure to work with - especially during a tense time with the bank!

Structural Engineer, Chichester, Victoria .S. - September 2020

 

 

 

 

 

Promptness of response :  Mike responded quickly to my request and was available on the phone to discuss what was required. Mike was also available to do the inspection on the required day.
Quality of service :  A short discussion was enough to establish exactly what I needed and Mike then delivered the agreed spec exactly, and exactly when he said he would.
Value for money :  I expect it's industry standard but the 2 levels or survey (everything or one spesific thing) for 2 prices seems a bit "Blunt" for the one spesific thing where time and effort may vary a lot. In this case Mike was very competativly priced and my requirements were larger so the price was very fair.
Professionalism :  Easy to discuss what was required, and then delivered a good quality verbal, followed by written, report exactly when it was promised.

I used the services of Mike Grant for help and advice with regard to a structural concern raised by our mortgage lender for a purchase of a residential property. Mike was extremely prompt with his replies and always offering advice throughout the process. Mike provided a very good price for his services and went through the trouble of explaining the differences of the surveys he completes and what would best suit my needs. Mike then completed a good job at the property meeting me at the address and talking me through any concerns I had and raised all issues he raised giving me a good verbal understanding of the structure of the property. Mike completed a detailed report of his findings which were very specific to my needs. Overall Mike Grant was very competitively priced, very prompt with all correspondence and provided a good detailed ssi report! If I ever had to use the services of a structural engineer again I would 100% use Mike. It was refreshing to haves what I would describe as a personal service to help me with the issues raised. Mike you were a joy to work with and I really appreciate the advice and support you provided throughout. Your prompt response to my emails were exemplary and during what is a very stressful time your prompt replies throughout the process made me feel a lot calmer with the process and I really appreciated that! Thank you for the guidance you offered and detailed report.
